Setting<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Some people have hidden agendas. People have always told me that I have an agenda but it’s out in the open for everyone to see. In the past couple of days, I have seen may conversations started with a question but without context. From giving evidence of Christ’s resurrection to politics to everything in between. The purpose of these questions are unknown to the answerer and nothing is just black and white. This is beating around the bush. I have been frustrated as it’s hard to answer a question without context. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you engage with people do you beat around the bush, or do you come straight out and say why you are asking the question? You can call it forthrightness<\/strong>, frankness, or just being open but in order to have a clear conversation, we need an open and honest foundation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How often do you beat around the bush? Is it on purpose? Is it due to fear of the outcome or just testing the waters? What about if you were clear, would that help?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scripture<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Today’s scriptures will be a little different. We will use one verse with different translations to help illustrate this concept. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
